Fur weeks It was alwas be fore me, always the same. Ollicers talked fn'l. frankly, directly. All the staff onVers have the same view. Let me try to tell It, as General von Kriea told me. In i'oland. In the midst of a dying nation, (iertnany Is des tined to rule the world, or at leust a great part of It. The German -ople are so much human material for build Inc the German state, other people do not count. AH Is for the glory and mlcht of the German btate. The lives of human Im Iiiits are to he coii- red onjy If It makes for the sta'. ad vancement, their lives are to be sacrl flced If It la to the state's advantage. The state Is all, the people are noth ing. t'onqucred peoplo alRnlfy little In the German accunt Life. llt.rty, happineKK, human sntimeiit. family ties, crnre and Renenius Impulse, these have no place beside the one concern, the greatness of the German state. Starvtftlon must excite no pity; sym pathy must not be allowed. If It ham I -ere the main deslga of promottnx Germany's ends, "Starvation Is here," said General von Kries. "Candhlly, we would like to see It relieved; we fear our soldiers may he unfavorably affected by the thltips Hint they s-e. Hut since It Is here, starvation must serve our pur pose. So we set It to work for Ger mauy. lty starvation we can accom plish In two or three years in East I'oland more than we have In West Poland, which Is East Prussia, In the last hundred years. With that In view, we propose to turn this force to our advantage. "This country la meant for Ger many," continued the keeper of starv ing Poland. "It la a rich alluvial country which Germany has needed for some generations. We propose to remove the uble-bodled working Poles from this country It leaves It open for the Inflow of German working peo ple as fast as we can spare them. They w ill occupy It and work It Then with a cunning smile, "Cnn't you see how it works out? lty and by we shall give back freedom to Poland. When that hnppens Poland will appear automatically as a German province." In Belgium, General von BKsIng told me exnetly the same thing. "If tho relief of Belgium breaks down we can force the Industrial population In to Germany through starvation and colonize other Belgians In Mesopo tamia where we have planned lumo Irrigation works; Germans will then overrun Belgium. Then when the war Is over nnd freedom Is given back to Belgium, it w ill he n German Belgium that Is restored. Belgium will he a German province nnd we hnve Ant weri which Is what we nre after." That Is not nil. Uemovlng the uen, that the land may he vacant for tier man occupation, that German stock may replace Belgians, Poles, Serbians, Armenians, nnd now Boumanhuis. Ger many does more. Women left captlvo are enslaved. Germany makes nil manner of lust Its Instrumentality. Tho other dny a friend of mine told me of n nmn Jnst tvturm d from north ern Prance, "I cannot tell you tho Uo tnlls." ho "tild. "man to man, I don't want to repeat what I heard." Some of the things he dtd ull shocking mutilation and moral murder, lie told of women, by the score. In occupied territory of northern France, prisoned In underground dungeons, tclhcted for the use of their bodies by otilcera and men. If this Is not a piece of the Prussinn system, It Is the logical product of di regard of the rights of others. Germany has limited the amount thut prisoners may spend to $15 n week for otllcera and JliU-O for pihuU-a. A MOST UNDEMOCRATIC . MEASURE Portland. Ore. Not only would the stiit i ( oiimoI Illation corn in Ihn Ion, ap pointed by Governor Withycornbe, and Wltllh reft-litly fiiS'le puhlle Its report, rtmkii the ofrirt of Hw-retary of State appo.titlve by the K'verrior, but It woijlij also 'P nrlvH th; voters of tho privilege of Heetlng a State Treas urer, a Superintendent of Public In struction and an Attorney General. 'J he only of flies whir h would be left eliietlte are those of Governor ami State Auditor, a new offir to b ere , ated All others would be made ap pointive. !MrH these rhangee could h made, ft is pointed Aiit, the constitution would have to m amended. But th commission finds (hat the state con stltution Is very much anti!iafd and recommends that. In the mar fiitur. a constitutional convention nhould be called "In ord'r that a systematic over hauling of tho framework of the state government may be made." When all the elective offices are sbolUhed and the governor is given power to fill thern by appointment, the commission also recommends that he should have authority to remove any official at bis pleasure without cause. This recommendation Is made, the commission points out. so that the governor might have political control at all tlrnea. "Heads of the principal state ad ministrative departments and possibly one chief deputy In each department," says the report, "should be nuhjert to political control through removal at any time without cause, in accordance with Oregon laws of Chapter The chief reason assigned for want ing to make all the state offices ap pointive Is given as follows: "It would relieve the voter of a bur den which he is not qualified to bear." Those who give the least thought to the commission's recommendations also see where, if they were adopted, they would place in the hands of the governor power to build the prettiest political machine that was ever seen in this state, which in the past has had experience with some rather fancy political machines. Other far reaching effects might be expected to follow if all state officials were made answerable to the governor Instead of to the people. The experi ence of Attorney-General Brown in connection with the noted L'tah water power case is cited as an Illustration. That case had been carried on appeal to the I'nlted Statea supreme court The Issue was clearly one In which the great water power Interests were on one side and the rights of the public on the other. Governor Withycombe ordered At torney General Brown to Intervene rn behalf of the water power interests. The attorney general did not approve throwing the influence of his office against the rights of the public and in favor of a great water power mon opoly. Hut he had been ordered to In tervene by the governor. So what did ae do? He merely filed In the United Statea supreme court the governors letter to him directing him to inter vene. He filed no brief or petition ' of his own writing, and the court and 1 the public knew the attorney general; was not in sympathy with the gover-1 ncr's stand. I But If the attorney general, aa the j governor's consolidation commission ! proposes, had been an appointive crea- j ture of the governor he would have , been compelled to resort to any tactics ; the governor requested to aid the j water power monopoly and defeat the , interests of the public in the water j powers of the stale. i The governor and attorney general ; also were on opposite sides when the ' governor stood with those who were ; trying to block the government in its fight to recover the Oregon & Califor nia railroad grant lauds. The attorney general stood on tho side of the peo ple and for recovering the millions of acres w hich the railroad company had held for years In violation of its cov enant with the government But if he had been an appointive crcuture of the governor, subject to removal at the pleasure of the chief executive without cause or for political reasons, he could not be an independ ent legal adviser of the tate. Similar influence from a chief exec utive, who would stoop to use the power of his office for polith;! i :t poses or to serve private in...'.-vits, would also have a baleful effect upon other important state officials. If the attorney general had been subject to control by the governor, the Pacific Livestock Company land fraud case, in which :!0.otiO aeres are in volved, would undoubtedly have been ordered dismissed long a to. As It is tho attorney general feels confident that he will recover a large body of land which will enrich the state com mon school fund. While the attorney general was fighting for an approprraiton to pay the expenses of the litigation and was doing all he could to keep the case from being squelched, the governor was seeking to have the case dis missed. The governor sought to have the state land board order the case dismissed. The bturd declined to take action. He then said he would order It dismissed if Secretary of State Ol cott would Join with Stute Treasurer Kay In giving a vote of approval. Ol cott refused, and the case was not dismissed. Hut if the attorney general had been an appointee of the governor he would hnve been In no position to make a fight to recover for the benefit of the school children of the stute large hold lugs of land which he has evidence to show were obtained from the state through fraud, when the chief execu tive favored the company holding the land.

If in these days of high prices vou found a butchei who charged 20 per cent less than the others you'd patronize him, wouldn't you? It would be worth considerable effort to save that much every week on household expenses. V eil, here's a way you san save 20 per cent on your meat bills with out trouble, without exertion. How? By means of electric range cooking the cleanest, easiest, surest way of cooking food just right. Electric Ranges are so simple in operation that a 12-year-old child can prepare a superior meal with little instruction. And that 20 per cent saving on meats is due to the construction of the oven, which prevents evaporation and retains the juices. You not only save 20 per cent, but the meat is more delirious, ap petizing and wholeaome. We have a special cooking rate and a time limited proposition which you can't afford to overlook.
